Waterside houses
Village houses close to the water
West Itchenor is small, with its street running down towards the hard and many of its homes detached, some close to the water's edge. Properties range from older cottages to substantial twentieth century and modern houses, and some are second homes or holiday properties used mainly in the sailing season. Larger homes tend to have long circuit lists and boards that have been added to.
Homes with many circuits benefit from a full RCBO unit, from £625, so a fault in the garage, kitchen or garden does not black out the rest of the property. For the highest level of fire protection, combined RCBO and AFDD boards start at £1,095.

Electrics that live beside a tidal harbour
Salt laden air off the harbour finds its way into garages, meter cupboards and outbuildings, and over time it corrodes terminals, screws and older steel enclosures. Loose or corroded connections at the main switch and meter tails run warm, and that is something we look at closely when we take an old board off the wall.
If your house stands empty between visits, reliability matters as much as safety. Separate RCBOs keep the freezer, heating and alarm running if one circuit develops a fault, and Type 2 surge protection is fitted as standard. We can also arrange access with a key holder if you are away.
- Corroded terminals renewed
- Meter tails checked for heat
- Alarm and freezer kept on
- Key holder access welcome
Getting to you
To the harbour from Brighton & Hove
To reach West Itchenor our installers follow the A27 to Chichester, turn south on the A286 and take the lane out from Birdham. Distance does not change the price, because travel is always free. A photo sent by text is how booking starts, and when the power has gone entirely, ring us so we can try to get to the house that day.

West Itchenor questions
Asked in West Itchenor
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. If you leave a key with a neighbour or key holder, or use a key safe, we can do the whole job without you. We agree the date and price in advance, send photos of the finished board, and email the certificate within 48 hours, so there is no need to make the trip down.
It tends to affect the parts around it more than the unit itself. Steel enclosures, screw terminals and meter tails in damp, salty garages or cupboards can corrode, which raises resistance and heat at the connections. A board kept indoors in a dry spot lasts best, and we can relocate yours for an extra £250 if needed.
An arc fault detection device watches for the electrical signature of arcing, from a damaged flex or a loose connection, which can start a fire without ever tripping an ordinary breaker or RCD. Combined RCBO and AFDD boards start at £1,095 and suit larger homes, timber buildings and properties left unoccupied for long periods.
